now, this is unexpected...
I've been working on a sweater for wrog off and on for some time now (I'm doing it in blues rather than greys). I'm nearly done with the body, and it's pretty much a lap blanket at this point. It's Norwegian style colorwork, so the body is a big tube until you get to the neck, where you scoop out the front a bit and do a little back-and-forth. I just started the back-and-forth, and had to do my last row of the colorwork in purl on the wrong side. And, here's the unexpected part... I think I might like doing 2-color knitting on the purl side better. Because apparently I dislike the Continental hold for the left-hand color just that much. If I'm doing it in all-purl, I can leave that color hanging and just flip it up with my thumb when I need it. Which gives me a further advantage of nice loose floats.
Clearly more experimentation is required. I've been planning some 2-color mittens that I will perhaps work inside-out in all-purl.
